Fall arrest systems must keep a worker from hitting the ground, the level below, or other
objects below.

Training

Workers must be adequately trained and given instruction by a competent person about the proper use of the fall protection system.

Refusing work

Workers have a right to refuse work that they reasonably believe is likely to endanger themselves or another worker. Employers cannot take reprisal action against workers who have worked in compliance with the law. (See OHSA sections 43 and 50(1).)
